Real-time sales and stock for grocery stores, with fraud and food-safety alerts

A grocery store needs to hear about a pricing error or a food-safety issue while the shift is still running.

Profitability per Square Meter

Floor decisions based on profit, store by store

Objectives

Help sales teams make data-driven decisions and raise the value of the sales floor through tools and processes.

Opportunity

Seeing and predicting the relationship between profitability and space gives the team a guide for every floor decision.

Connecting every channel around the customer

The retailer faced the practical challenge of linking disconnected store and digital journeys and turning customer data into personal experiences.

Key Challenges

1: Data spread across divisions. Information from each division was not consolidated per store.

2: No view of profit per square meter. Nobody saw how much each area of the floor earned.

3: No forecast. Teams had no way to predict how a change in space would affect profitability.

4: Floor actions without follow-up. Changes agreed in meetings had no tracking on the sales floor.

Solution

A profitability-per-square-meter report with follow-up

NTT DATA built a report with updated data to visualize and predict the relationship between profitability and square meters, and stayed with the teams through the launch.

Database preparation

The team compiled updated data from 13 stores and all their divisions.

Report design

NTT DATA designed the visualization so sales teams read profit per square meter in one view.

Launch and analysis

The team supported the launch and helped sales leads analyze the first results.

Action tracking

NTT DATA collected the actions agreed with each store and tracked their execution on the floor.

Impact

One brand experience across channels

The report brings together information from 11 divisions and updated data from 13 stores. Sales teams follow up and execute actions on the floor, and space decisions start from data.
